Active Ingredient

Deutetrabenazine and the major circulating metabolites are reversible inhibitors of VMAT2, resulting in decreased uptake of monoamines into synaptic vesicles and depletion of monoamine stores in dopaminergic regions (e.g. striatum and cortex) of the brain. While the precise mechanism of action by which deutetrabenazine exerts its effects in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia is unknown, it is believed to be related to its effect as a depletor of monoamines from nerve terminals.
